BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a water cooling radiator, and more particularly to a water cooling radiator assembly capable of increasing a heat dissipation area.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A water cooling radiator is configured to radiate the heat of the radiator using a liquid under the action of a pump. Compared with air cooling, the water cooling radiator has the advantages of quietness, stable cooling, and less dependence on the environment. The heat dissipation performance of the water cooling radiator is proportional to the flow rate of a cooling liquid (water or other liquid). The flow rate of the cooling liquid is related to the power of the pump in the cooling system. Moreover, the heat capacity of water is large. This makes the water cooling system have a good heat load capacity.

A conventional water cooling radiator assembly usually consists of a water cooling radiator, a water cooling block, and a water pipe. The water pipe is connected between the water cooling radiator and the water cooling block. The water pipe allows water in the water cooling radiator and the water cooling block to circulate. After the water absorbs the heat from the water cooling block, the water flows to the water cooling radiator for heat dissipation, and the water after heat dissipation flows back to the water cooling block. In the prior art, the water cooling radiator of the water cooling radiator assembly has a water collection box. However, the structure of the water collection box is relatively common, and the heat dissipation area is small This makes the overall heat dissipation effect of the water cooling radiator poor. Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to solve these problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIG. 1 through FIG. 6, a specific structure in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention is shown, comprising a water cooling radiator 10, a water cooling block 20, and two water pipes 30.

The water cooling radiator 10 includes a main body 11 and at least one water collection box 12 disposed on the main body 11. A water collection area 101 is defined in the water collection box 12. The water collection box 12 is provided with a first water inlet connector 41 and a first water outlet connector 42. The first water inlet connector 41 and the first water outlet connector 42 communicate with the water collection area 101. The outer surface of the water collection box 12 is integrally formed with a plurality of ribs 102 extending outwardly for increasing a heat dissipation area.

Specifically, the water collection box 12 includes a base 121 and a cover 122. The cover 122 is attached to the main body 11. The cover 122 and the base 121 are joined to form the water collection area 101 in the water collection box 12. The ribs 102 are located on the outer surface of the base 121. In this embodiment, the ribs 102 are arranged at intervals on the peripheral sides of the base 121. Each of the ribs 102 is in the form of a strip. The ribs 102 are densely arranged in parallel. A groove 103 is formed between every adjacent two of the ribs 102. Each rib 102 extends horizontally. The peripheral sides of the base 121 are covered with the ribs 102.

Furthermore, this embodiment has two water collection boxes 12. The two water collection boxes 12 are disposed on the front and rear sides of the main body 11, respectively. The first water inlet connector 41 and the first water outlet connector 42 are disposed on the same water collection box 12. One of the water collection boxes 12 is provided with a water filling port 45 communicating with the water collection area 102.

The water cooling block 20 is provided with a second water inlet connector 43 and a second water outlet connector 44. The second water inlet connector 43 and the second water outlet connector 44 communicate with the inside of the water cooling block 20. Two ends of one water pipe 30 are connected between the first water inlet connector 41 and the second water outlet connector 44, and two ends of the other water pipe 30 are connected between the first water outlet connector 42 and the second water inlet connector 43 to form a circulating water channel.

The working principle of this embodiment is described in detail as follows:

When in use, a heating device is fixed on the water cooling block 20. The circulating water channel of this product is filled with water. Water circulates between the water cooling radiator 10 and the water cooling block 20 through the two water pipes 30 under the action of a pump inside the water cooling block 20, so as to absorb the heat from the water cooling block 20 to the water cooling radiator 10 to be dissipated. The heat of the water in the water collection area 101 is quickly dissipated to the outside through the main body 11 and the ribs 102 to achieve a better heat dissipation effect.

Referring to FIG. 7 through FIG. 12, a specific structure in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The specific structure of the second embodiment is substantially similar to the specific structure of the first embodiment with the exceptions described hereinafter.

In the second embodiment, the ribs 102 are arranged at intervals on the front of the base 121. Each of the ribs 102 is in the form of a strip. The ribs 102 are densely arranged in parallel. A groove 103 is formed between every adjacent two of the ribs 102. Each rib 102 extends vertically. The front of the base 121 is covered with the ribs 102.

The working principle of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the working principle of the second embodiment will not be described in detail hereinafter.

Referring to FIG. 13 through FIG. 18, a specific structure in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention is shown. The specific structure of the third embodiment is substantially similar to the specific structure of the first embodiment with the exceptions described hereinafter.

In the third embodiment, the ribs 102 are arranged at intervals on the front and the peripheral sides of the base 121. Each of the ribs 102 is in the form of a strip. The ribs 102 are densely arranged in parallel. A groove 103 is formed between every adjacent two of the ribs 102. The ribs 102 on the peripheral sides of the base 121 extend horizontally. The ribs 102 on the front of the base 121 extend vertically. The front and the peripheral sides of the base 121 are covered with the ribs 102 to achieve a better heat dissipation effect.

The working principle of the third embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the working principle of the third embodiment will not be described in detail hereinafter.
